Turkey to Host Peace Talks on Ukraine War?
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan thinks Turkey would be a good place for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. He said this in a press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Erdogan mentioned that Turkey had helped with previous negotiations, like the Black Sea grain deal. This allowed Ukrainian food to be exported until Russia stopped it in 2023. Erdogan promised to support Ukraine’s full control over its land and independence.
The two presidents also talked about ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. They want to help find a peaceful solution.
This announcement comes after US and Russian officials met for the first time since the war began. They discussed finding a peace deal in Saudi Arabia. US President Donald Trump said he plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin soon, but no date has been set.
